NEW YORK CITY

New York City is all things to all people. To everyone
in the world who has seen American movies it's excitement,
worldly glamor, and wealth beyond imagining. It is sirens
wailing through teeming streets as the good guys chase the
bad guys. It is a hard-hatted construction worker strolling
on a girder a thousand feet above the ground. Tail-coated
first-nighters jamming Sardi's after the final curtain. Gar-
ment workers in gesticulating clusters on Seventh Avenue
at the noon hour. Impeccably-attired Wall Streeters and
Madison Avenue-ites grabbing a quick one before catching
the 5:42. It is the steel-and-stone canyons of downtown
Manhattan; the deep-throated whistle of great ships in the
world's busiest harbor; the tall apartments of commuters. It
is the wealthiest and the most-publicized city in the world—
to eight million Americans it is home.


A FEW FACTS AND FIGURES. To
most non-residents, New York means
Manhattan Island; yet two other bor-
oughs — Brooklyn and Queens — have
greater population than the borough of
Manhattan. As might be expected, any
and all statistics describing the great city
are staggering. For example: More policemen (about 30,-
000) than there are total inhabitants of many fair-sized
cities. Assessed value of real estate nearly $30 billion. More
than 800 schools with more than 40,000 teachers.


GEOGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING. The city is situated
at the mouth of the Hudson River. Its five boroughs are
Manhattan, an island between the Hudson and East Rivers
and separated from the mainland by the Harlem River; the
Bronx, north of the Harlem; Brooklyn and Queens, on the
western end of Long Island; and Richmond, on Staten Island
southwest of Brooklyn and opposite New Jersey.


THE HUMAN SIDE. No other city in the world has so
many people from other countries. It is said that New York
has more Jews than Israel. Its Puerto Rican population
alone would fill a city the size of Pittsburgh.
